Starbucks says it plans to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in the 75 countries where it does business.

Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz outlined the company’s plan in a memo sent to employees Sunday in response to President Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven Muslim majority countries.

“We are living in an unprecedented time,” Schultz wrote in the memo, which listed several actions the company says it is taking to “reinforce our belief in our partners around the world.”

Agreed. I rarely go to Starbs—occasionally I have a meeting there (not my choice) and I will get water or a small plain coffee...Regardless, their coffee is lousy!!!

My wife had the pleasant thought of someone wiping their rear end with their hand and then putting a pastry on your plate.
